Whole30 Stuffed Peppers
These healthy Whole30 Stuffed Peppers are perfect for an easy dinner and only use a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 Bell Peppers
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 cup Frozen Cauliflower Rice
- 1 can Rotel *see notes
- ½ Onion (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning *see notes
- ¼ cup Cilantro (chopped)
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
- Casserole dish
- large skillet
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the bell peppers in half long ways and remove the seeds and veins. I leave the tops of the peppers on but you can cut them off.
- Dice the onion and add it to a large skillet with avocado oil and cook on medium heat till soft, about 5 minutes.
- Once the onions are cooked add the ground beef to the pan and cook till browned, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower rice, Rotel, cilantro, and taco seasoning to the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
- Using a spoon, fill the pepper halves with the meat mixture and cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
Notes
Substitutions
*Rotel- Rotel is a can of diced tomatoes and green chilis. Any brand will work!
Ground beef- You can use ground turkey or really whatever ground meat you like.
Bell peppers- I like to use red and orange bell peppers but you can use green peppers or yellow bell peppers.
Cauliflower rice- I like to use frozen cauliflower rice but you can use fresh. You could also use white rice but that would make this pepper recipe not Whole30 or Paleo.
*Taco seasoning- I use my homemade Whole30 Taco Seasoning, but you can use Siete's taco seasoning to keep this Whole30.
Tips and notes
I like putting the pepper halves in a casserole dish because I think it holds them in place better, but you can use a baking sheet.
If you like spicy dishes then you can add red pepper flakes to this for a little kick.
I love topping my stuffed peppers with this easy Vegan Avocado Crema and fresh herbs like cilantro, oregano, green onion, or parsley. You can also top them with hot sauce and even some Kite Hill dairy-free sour cream.
Storing and reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
I usually reheat my peppers in the microwave but you can reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
